What could be more iconic than the poems of two poets who lived a love story just as intense as it was tumultuous? The complete works of one of the greatest poets in the world – the poetry of Paul Verlaine puts Paris, love, punishment, evils and life in gripping verses, inevitably legendary!<\/p>\n\n

<\/figure><\/div>\n\nFinally, it is to the poetic work of Jorge Luis Borges that we pay the most attention.<\/p>\n\n
A volume of poetry, Po\u00e8mes d\u2019Amour, in which Silvia Baron Supervielle, in the introduction, notes: \u201cAlmost all of Borges\u2019 volumes contain at least one love poem. This flame \u2013 obscure marvel \u2013 which generally lights only a few lines at the end of the poem, can go unnoticed. After listing themes dear to him, he raises his voice briefly as if announcing a sentence. The reader stops on these words which are written simply, painfully and happily at the same time. Is happiness painful? Borges lets us understand that, when he is torn and happy, he suffers from love like all men.\u201d<\/p>\n\n
